VATAN - Jorge Ordoñez
Vatan is a classic expression of Spain's oldest clone of Tempranillo, or 100% Tinta de Toro.
After 20 to 22 months in the barrel, it spends a few more months in the bottle.
According to Wine Spectator (92 pp): “Fragrant on the nose, with violet and rooibos tea notes. The palate offers a pure beam of cassis and black raspberry fruit, with rich flavors of espresso, milled pepper and smoked paprika. A well-tailored version, integrating sculpted, limber tannins and a mineral-laced underpinning that echoes on the finish. Drink now through 2036.” Alison Napjus, June 20th 2025.
